And Li Xiaoyao, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is mainly to look at the overall situation.

He is the one who really holds the power of adjudication and breaks the pen to life and death.

At this moment, Qin Zulai kept looking at the files, and his gaze quickly swept over these files.

Then review these chains of evidence in your mind to see if they are complete.

Whether the suggestions of the local yamen in various fields are reasonable.

In the end, the cinnabar pen was dropped, and even if these cases were given the final trial.

Basically, every cinnabar pen he drops represents the end result of a criminal, or several criminals.

Whether it is life or death, exile or imprisonment, whether it is carved on the face or broken hands and feet, often ...... It's all in the thought of him Qin.

He flipped it over quickly, and suddenly, with a stroke in front of a dossier, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He examined the evidence carefully, and then looked at the entire description of the case, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Then, he flipped the file forward to see which yamen had sent it.

As a result, his eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Criminal Department??"

It turned out to be a file sent by the Criminal Department.

And the person who was responsible for investigating this case and finally sending it to Dali Temple for trial was Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department!!

Under normal circumstances, the criminal department is still in the book, and he will not personally investigate the case.

Even a case as big as the Ministry of Officials was handled by Sun Zhong, the chief servant of the Criminal Department.

So this ordinary case that Zhang Liang actually tried in person is a little too wrong.

Qin Zulai couldn't help but think of Zhang Liang's deeds.

Zhang Liang, he is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

However, he, like Hou Junji, was later beheaded by Li Er.

And the evaluation given to him by later generations has eight words, [Born in a humble background, courteous on the outside and treacherous on the inside!]

Respectful on the outside, deceitful on the inside, it is a traitor!

Combined with the inconsistencies in the description of this case......

Qin Zulai pursed his lips, suddenly closed the dossier, and drew a cross on it,

Write four words...... [Hit back for retrial.] 】

After writing the words "return for retrial", Qin Zulai said directly: "Come here." ”

Soon a servant walked in, and Qin Zulai took the stack of files that had just been processed.

handed it to the official and said, "Send it to the criminal department for review immediately!"

"Yes!"

The official took the file and left.

And Qin Zulai continued to bow his head and write, and he didn't care about the file returned to the Criminal Department.

Occasionally, in the files of his trial, the chain of evidence was insufficient.

Either it can't form a closed loop, or there is a problem with the logic of the whole case, he will knock it back.

Ordered local officials to re-examine the investigation.

Qin Zulai is not afraid of trouble, he only has one thing to fear now, and that is to judge the wrong case.

After all, human life is as big as the sky.

Not only is the victim's life as big as the sky, but so is the life of the suspect!

If the evidence is insufficient and the logic of the case is problematic, even if the suspect is suspected, it will need to be retried.

The current Qin someone, after knowing that his stupid daughter-in-law is a princess, is already working for Datang with some dedication.

Now he will never allow his own wrongful judgment, let the innocent be wronged, and let the guilty go unpunished.

So no matter how troublesome it is, he has to do it.

That's it, a busy morning.

By the time Qin Zu came to finish processing the file, it was already early afternoon.

As soon as he walked out of the office and was about to go to lunch, a crisp voice rang out.

"Zu come Zu come, here and here!!"

In his ears, the voice was extremely crisp, and it was extremely quiet, as if he was afraid of disturbing the other officials.

The corners of Qin Zulai's mouth raised as he listened, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Then, I saw my daughter-in-law holding a bamboo basket in her left hand, and her right hand was constantly waving to him.

This damn girl......

Qin Zulai smiled helplessly, and then walked up.

When he came to Changle, the sound of "dong" was directly a greeting of love.

"Ahh

Changle cried and complained, "I...... I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I cooked a special meal and sent it over, and you beat me......"

Qin Zulai also felt that he had gone too far.

Rubbing Changle's head, he said softly: "Girl, don't you just send a meal." ”

"Why was that voice so cautious just now?"

"I don't know, I thought you were a thief. ”

"Forehead ......"

Changle was stunned, she ...... It is true that he is a thief.

Even if he came to the place where Qin Zu came to work, he was terrified.

Because I'm afraid of meeting acquaintances!

"Hmph, Zulai, what are you doing to be a thief......! I'm not afraid of disturbing your officials!"

Changle made up a lame reason.

Immediately, he changed the topic and said: "Zulai, let's not talk about this for now, come, look at what delicious food I made for you!!"

"Just you?"

Qin Zulai glanced at him, although he was disgusted, he still had some expectations.

When I opened it, I saw the standard two dishes and one soup.

There is also a smell of fragrance.

Well~

It's really fragrant!

Qin Zulai was secretly frightened, "Girl, it's okay, you're cooking...... It's gone up!"

Changle grabbed it lightly and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay, before I came, I asked Brother Wang Yang and them to check it for me, and I knew that there was no problem, so I dared to send it to you." ”

"Give...... Our big hero sent it over!"

Qin Zu's heart warmed slightly when he heard this, "Girl, eat together?"

Changle shook his head, "No, no, no, there is still a shop at home for the proprietress to see, how can there be time to delay here!"

"And for the officials you work with, what will they think of our big heroes!!"

"Let's go, let's go, don't add negative impact to our ancestors!"

After speaking, Changle jumped and left.

She walked briskly, so unexpectedly.

Qin Zulai kept watching Changle's departure.

My daughter-in-law is so virtuous, it's really a blessing for three lives!!

This back, he has already made up his mind to protect it with his life.

Smiling, Qin Zulai began to concentrate on tasting his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship.

On the way, even if Li Xiaoyao asked people to come to find him, Qin Zulai said that he would talk about it later.

He had to finish the meal prepared by his daughter-in-law before he went over to see Li Xiaoyao.

Even if Li Er comes, he has to wait until he finishes eating.

After eating, Qin Zulai walked to Li Xiaoyao's office.

Li Xiaoyao saw Qin Zu coming, and said with a smile: "Qin County Order, just finished busy?"

Qin Zulai nodded, "Hurry up and deal with the file, so that the case can be concluded sooner." ”

"Thank you. ”

"It's all my duty, it doesn't matter if it's hard or not. ”

At this moment, looking at Qin Zulai, who looked calm but his eyes were slightly bright, Li Xiaoyao suddenly couldn't open his mouth.

Qin Zu glanced at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Master Li, is there anything else to look for me?"

Li Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

said: "Qin County Order, I heard that you sent back a case from the Criminal Department in the morning and asked them to retry it?"

Qin Zulai nodded and said, "That case, something is wrong, I think there may be some problems with the case itself." ”

"Therefore, I want the criminal department to retry it, so as not to wronged the good people. ”

Li Xiaoyao looked at Qin Zulai, his brows furrowed slightly on his handsome face.

He asked, "Do you know who is in charge of this case?"

"I know, it's Lord Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

"Since I know it's him......"

"Since I know that it's him, then I, Qin, someone, should fight back. ”

Before Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, Qin Zulai interrupted Li Xiaoyao's words.

He looked at Li Xiaoyao with a blazing gaze, "Lord Zhang Liang, now his age is not low, and his life can be regarded as ups and downs. ”

"I did this for his sake, so that when he gets old, he will not let himself be ruined and misjudged the unjust case. ”

Qin Zulai's eyes were clear, his eyes were bright, and the sun shone on his body, as if it had plated him with a layer of golden light.

Looking at Qin Zulai, unconsciously, Li Xiaoyao suddenly felt a little dazzling.

He sighed and said, "Qin County Order, it's not that I stopped you, I'm just worried about you." ”

"Zhang Liang, he is not an ordinary person, his temper is not as good as that of Lord Fang, and his scheming is not as deep as that of Lord Changsun, so if you get along with him and dislike him a little, he will be furious. ”

"This case, if you go back directly like this, it will make him very faceless. ”

"He's the man...... Once you feel uncomfortable, you will definitely take revenge. ”

"Even if your wife is Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, but if he doesn't know it, he won't use it at all. ”

"So...... Is it worth it?"

Qin Zulai looked directly into Li Xiaoyao's eyes.

He said calmly: "Lord Li, this has nothing to do with my wife's family, and I don't want her to be involved in the power of the dark abyss. ”

"This case is actually a murder case!"

"The son of the down-and-out family, Zhao Ming's mother-in-law, Zhao Shi, died at home, her head was missing, and Zhao Ming hurriedly reported to the official. ”

"Zhao Ming's mother's family is a big family, although it is not the Five Hopes and Seven Sects, but it is also powerful in Chang'an. ”

Zhao's mother's family thought that Zhao Ming killed his mother, and asked Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to try it. ”

The file said that Zhang Liang only spent one night to get Zhao Ming to confess and sign and detain. ”

He smiled, "If it were someone else, they might think that this case is extremely clear, but in the eyes of someone in my Qin, this is simply full of loopholes!"

He looked at Li Xiaoyao, and his tone was still very calm.

"First of all, what is Zhao Ming's motive for killing his wife? There is no record of this in the dossier. ”

"Secondly, if Zhao Ming really killed his mother, why didn't he run away, why didn't he leave, but he had to report to the official?

"Finally, where is the murder weapon? How is the murder carried out, and where is the head of the deceased?"

"No, none of this is all there, there is no writing on it at all on the file, so ...... What is this?"

Qin Zulai suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a little harsh.

"I looked at the dossier carefully, from top to bottom, from left to right," he said. ”

"It is full of how Zhang Liang is 'wise and martial' and how he 'judges cases like a god'. ”

"But...... I continued to read it, and after reading it carefully for half the night, I could see the real content from the cracks, and the file was full of two words, cannibalism!"

"Zhao Ming is a human, they are going to eat him!"

Li Xiaoyao was suddenly shocked, and his eyes widened suddenly.

He looked at Qin Zulai blankly, and in his mind, there were thousands of waves in an instant.

"Qin Zu comes, you ......"

Li Xiaoyao opened his mouth, but as if his throat was blocked by something, it turned out that he couldn't say a word anymore.

Shock!

Shake!

It was like a blow to the head, and Li Xiaoyao's whole body trembled!

Qin Zulai continued: "Human life is greater than the sky, and this life is in my hands, under my cinnabar pen. ”

"So, Master Li, how can I write the word 'behead' with a clear conscience?"

"I didn't mean to target Zhang Liang, in fact, anyone who submits such a dossier will be sent back. ”

"As for what Zhang Liang thinks, that's his business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"If he has a clear conscience, he can be tried again, so what's the matter? He is not the only one who has been beaten back. ”

Li Xiaoyao slowly closed his eyes.

My heart was pounding.

It took a long time before he took a deep breath and reopened his eyes.

Looking at Qin Zulai, Li Xiaoyao was silent for a long time before he said: "Qin County Order, I was wrong. ”

"I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed by Zhang Liang, and I want to persuade you to take a step back and open the sky. ”

"However, I have forgotten that our Dali Temple, where is there a way back? If we take a step back, it may be the birth of an unjust case, or the vain death of an innocent person!"

"So anyone can retreat, we Dali Temple, we can't retreat!"

He looked at Qin Zulai and was extremely pleased, he felt that he might have stayed in a high position for too long, and he had already lost the edges and corners that Dali Temple should have.

Then, he took out the file that had just been sent by the Criminal Department from his arms.

said: "Qin County Order, give it to you." ”

"Originally, I wanted to deal with it for you, but now it seems that I think ...... This has to be left to you!"

"You go for it, do what you want...... Whoever dares to stop you, who dares to bully, you tell me!"

"Even if I can't move him, but the top boss, our Dali Siqing, his old bones can still move!"

"It doesn't matter who he is, Zhang Liang, or others, the world only knows that Wei Zheng is a difficult bone to gnaw, but our top decision-maker in Dali Temple, his bones ...... It's even harder to gnaw!"

Qin Zulai heard Li Xiaoyao's words, looked at Li Xiaoyao's slightly straightened backbone, and laughed.

Sometimes, he really feels that some of the qualities of the ancients are much purer than those of later generations.

At least......

They don't want to shirk when they encounter difficulties, nor do they keep up with their interests in everything.

Working under a boss like Li Xiaoyao, he felt a sense of pride.

I felt it, and a wave of glory came to me.
